Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID): A group of hard disks that are managed
as a unit to provide increased performance and various levels of error recovery
and fault tolerance. The technique can be implemented in software using
standard disk controllers, or it can be designed into the disk controller itself.
Registry: The central information database for Windows 95/98 or Windows NT. It holds
hardware-specific information and stores configuration details for programs,
reducing the need for initialization (.INI) files.
remapping: Redefining a computer component. For example, remapping the keyboard
refers to assigning a new symbol or letter for some or all of the keys.
remote console: An input/output device that consists of a keyboard and monitor and is
physically separate from the computer to which it is connected.
removable disk: A disk that can be removed from the computer and used to transfer files
to another computer or to hold backup copies. Diskettes are an obvious
example, but removable hard disks are available. In addition, there are high
capacity removable disks which only work in proprietary drives.
resolution: A measure of the sharpness of the images that can be produced by a printer
or displayed on a screen. For a printer, resolution is expressed in dots per inch
(dpi). For a screen, it is expressed as the number of pixels available
horizontally and vertically.
restart: Resetting a computer without turning it off (also called "warm boot" or "soft
reset"). To restart the computer while it is on, press Ctrl + Alt + Del or press the
reset button. In Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, you can also use the Restart
option on the Shut Down menu. See also boot.
resources: 1) Any part of a computer system or network that can be allocated to a
program. Examples are printers and disk drives. 2) Data channels and storage
areas that can be allocated to devices. Examples of these system resources
are memory, interrupt request (IRQ) lines, direct memory access (DMA)
channels, and port addresses. On the server, you use the Toshiba System
Setup Tool to configure system resources.
